Amex HHonors Free Weekend Night Offer
American Express is sending out a nice targeted offer to holders of their no fee co-branded Hilton HHonors credit card. The offer is so good that I sort of wish that I hard the card. Enough feeling sorry for myself though. Let’s take a look.

Analysis & See If You Were Targeted
So basically spend $1K and get a free weekend night at any Hilton property? Where do I sign up? Oh wait that’s right. I don’t have this card. Luckily if you do, you can check to see if you were targeted by clicking this link and logging in. I am not the jealous type so I sincerely hope that you were. This is just too generous!
Conclusion
While we have taken so many hits when it comes to credit cards this past year, we have seen nice targeted spending offers surface from many of the large banks. This one is almost too generous, so if you have the no annual fee Hilton Amex card and if you were targeted, then I would say it is probably wise to jump on this!

That was FAST. Hit the minimum and received my free night certificate already!
My wife was targeted and we enrolled. I have a companion card. Do you see any potential problem if I make the $1000 in purchases on my card? Seems like it should work, right? Otherwise, I’ll drag her to the supermarket to buy a couple gift cards.
Yes an AU card should work.
Thanks. I wonder how/when cardholders will be notified when they qualify. I hate the promos where you don’t find out that “it worked” until after the promo is over.
I used your link to check and my husband was targeted! Yah! Thanks!
Nice! Congrats.
YOur information indicates one needs to be on the “offer communication”. I did not receive this offer but would like to set things up to get future offers. What do I need to do to be on the “offer communication”? Thank you.

Never mind. Logging in first then clicking the link above shows I’m not targeted. Hah!
Did anyone see when the free night needs to be used by?
12 months after the date of issue.
Where did you see that? I was trying to find it.
In the email from AMEX, in the Ts&Cs, it reads “members should receive their certificate via email 6-8 weeks after meeting the spend requirement… certificates are good for 12 months after the date of issuance, as noted on the certificate.”
In the AMEX email, under Ts&Cs #1, “The Free One Weekend Night Certificate is valid for 12 months after the date of issuance, as noted on the certificate.”
The Free One Weekend Night Certificate is valid for one (1) weekend night standard accommodation, double occupancy, subject to availability, at properties in the Hilton HHonors portfolio, excluding those listed at HHonors.com/weekendcertificate. The Free One Weekend Night Certificate is valid for 12 months after the date of issuance, as noted on the certificate.

Very cool deal! I JUST got the card last week grrr! Thanks for sharing – hope this is a new pattern! 🙂
3 of 3 accounts targeted and enrolled
Neither Hubby nor I were targeted.
I didn’t get the promotional offer either… we decided to put the card in a drawer and use our chase cards.. from what I read to get these offers you have to stop spending on them. So be it.
man. never anything for surpass dude!
I have the Surpass card. A recent booking with Hilton gave me 5000 bonus points and I’m not sure how. It just says “AMEX 5000 points on us offer”. It was for a one night stay.
yea. thats a good one that has been around from AUG. glad you got it. requires 2 stays though. you sure you only stayed one time?
As a valued American Express Hilton HHonors™ Card Member or American Express Hilton HHonors™ Surpass® Card Member, earn 5,000 Hilton HHonors™ Points as a thank you for staying with us, when you register and complete two stays using your Card at any hotel or resort within the Hilton Portfolio now through October 31, 2016.*
I just got this card and am working toward the $2,000 min spend organically (the limited time offer from a few weeks ago). Unfortunately I wasn’t targeted – I imagine they invited people whose accounts were of a specific age or older – otherwise I totally would have jumped on this!
Where’s the love, VISA?
I’m not targeted and I am a huge spender with amex (probably why im not targeted?). Anything I can do to get them to offer this to me? This doesn’t seem fair I spend thousands and thousands on this card and others who use it less get a free night?
Was about to email you regarding this promo, but you beat me to the punch. Wife was targeted and we’ll likely use the free night in Singapore to go along with the Visa BOGO offer at Conrad that we booked before it died. Score!
